The Love’s Playbook Podcast The Bible as the Story of an All-good God
Don’t have time to read the Bible? Can’t understand it? Here it is written as a story for adults that reads like a novel. The story of an all-good God. Listen and fall in love. My version has characters who are fleshed out with carefully researched backstory because they were people like us. I wanted to slow the stories down, make them come to life with characters you can relate to. People like you--people you can identify with and remember. AND the focus is on a good God, not a scary or angry one. The men who wrote the Bible wanted a strong warrior God, and to be sure They are! (One position--three beings who fill it.) But there is such a difference between Their preferred will and Their allowed will. Love and freedom are Their greatest values. Episode 1 is my fantasy of Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 with Revelation 12-–the universe before us. Listen to Abba, Adonai and Ruach converse and see how evil could enter a perfect world—a perfect creation!

This is a discussion of Hebrews 7-10 that turned into a deep dive into God’s vengeance, which by the way Isaiah 35 describes as Jesus —at least in the NEB. God‘s love energy is a consuming fire to evil. But that is all, so if you are brave sit in his presence, unless you love evil.
